The human brain is capable of generating new functional neurons throughout life, a
phenomenon known as adult neurogenesis. The generation of new neurons is sustained …

Axial patterning during planarian regeneration relies on a transcriptional circuit that confers
distinct positional information on the two ends of an amputated fragment. The earliest known …

Chloroviruses (family Phycodnaviridae) are large DNA viruses known to infect certain
eukaryotic green algae and have not been previously shown to infect humans or to be part …

Depression and anxiety are prevalent, persistent, and difficult to treat industrialized world
mental health problems that negatively modify an individual's life perspective through brain …

Tractography based on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data has been used as a tool by a
large number of recent studies to investigate structural connectome. Despite its great …

A major stumbling block to cracking the real-time neural code is neuronal variability-neurons
discharge spikes with enormous variability not only across trials within the same …

Fear behaviors and fear memories in rodents have been traditionally assessed by the
amount of freezing upon the presentation of conditioned cues or unconditioned stimuli …

There is considerable scientific interest in understanding how cell assemblies-the long-
presumed computational motif-are organized so that the brain can generate cognitive …

Richard Semon and Donald Hebb are among the firsts to put forth the notion of cell
assembly—a group of coherently or sequentially-activated neurons—to represent percept …

The development of technologies capable of recording both single-unit activity and local
field potentials (LFPs) over a wide range of brain circuits in freely behaving animals is the …
